Re: (erielack) EL depressed flat cars

Thanks Schuyler, Paul and Bob for the "dark" humor and for the facts I need. 
I was leaning towards oxide red but after closer examination of the "color" 
photos I see it is faded black, just as the wood decking is dark gray faded 
wood.

I put one of the depressed walthers N&W versions together a few years ago, 
using kato wheel sets and it has been a fun car to use.  Will have to get 
one of your caboose decal sets now Paul.

Again, thanks for info, always a big help.
